To the editor:

The Onslow County Senior Expo will be hosting its 12th annual event for seniors. Sponsored by AARP Chapter No. 795 members, Onslow County Senior Services and Jacksonville Recreation and Parks. The event will be held at the American Legion building, 146 Broadhurst Road, Jacksonville. This building is located where the Onslow County Fair is held. The date is Aug. 25 and is free and open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Seniors will have the opportunity to get shots for the flu, shingles and pneumonia if they so desire. In addition, seniors will have an opportunity to have their blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes checked by Onslow Memorial Hospital, and Onslow County Health Department will be glad to discuss any health issues seniors may have.

Seniors, information will be available concerning, neurology, Medicare, eye care, dental care, insurance, banking, funerals, health, exercise, chiropractic care, hearing care, scams, massage therapy, nutrition, food, drugs, crafts, elder abuse and lots more. Veterans will be available for the veterans or anyone with related questions about the VA, plus the mobile van will be there for any other questions that you may have.

While there don’t forget to get your free copy of the Onslow County Senior Resource Guide with the latest information, easy to read with the latest phone numbers. There will be door prizes drawing throughout the day donated by the vendors participating in this event.

The goal of the Onslow County Senior Expo is to inform the seniors and the public how keep up with the changing times, as they are changing so very fast these days and the only way to be safe is to know what is going on and how to deal with the changes. It is also a good time to get all your questions answered free.

Please note this very important date, Aug. 25th and time 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on your calendar of activities at the American Legion Building. We look forward to you joining us.

There will be a surprise for those attending this year along with a special raffle.
